Team & Versatility Pairs Measure-up Policy

The handler of a dog entered in Team or Versatility Pairs must notify the secretary immediately should their dog be required to jump a higher height by virtue of the judge's measurement.

If the handler chooses not to have their dog jump the higher height, their entry is effectively withdrawn. The competitor may or may not run for exhibition only (earning no qualifications) solely at the discretion of the event secretary; there shall be no refund of fees paid.

If the change in height makes the dog ineligible for their team (three jump heights), the secretary will make every effort to form complete teams from dogs available. A move-up in height for dogs in Versatility Pairs does not affect their team composition, but may result in a change in their position in the running order because of the height composition of the Pair.

Mixed-Height Pairs Entry Allowed

Dogs entered as partners in pairs relay at this event may be combined without regard to jump height, i.e. a mini dog may be entered as a partner with an open dog. Any pair consisting of at least one open dog must qualify in accordance with the QCT set forth by the judge of record for Open Pairs AND will be considered an open pair for placement purposes.
